Option to See the Names of Battleship/Railguns in a Stack

We have the option of naming a battleship/railgun. E.g. if we name a battleship HMS Hood and another HMS Marlborough we should be able to see which of them is Hood and which is Marlborough

It is helpful if we name the ships of a particular class and we want them to operate together. Eg We might want to make two battleships the Fuji and Yashima and keep both in a single stack

Here we should be able to know which ship is the Fuji and which is Yashima (especially if we have a third or fourth battleship and all of them are at random places at sea)

I do like the idea of being able to differentiate named units. And i’d like being able to see those names in places other than in the newspaper!

Well you can only see it in the newspaper if they destroyed an enemy stack. Maybe there should be an option to see the unit name beside the __ Battle group or __ Battleship flotilla thing

The only way the devs will do it if a bunch of infuential call of war players lobby them for this addition*

They’d do it also if enough people asked. This is a popular idea. I hope that with all the people asking they just bring it back, I see 0 reason not to.

Was it there earlier?

I believe so, yes.

I dont think so... but i may be wrong since i am relatively new to call of war

You couldn’t see all names I believe but like the the ship that you see in the newspaper today would be there, I think.

You only see the name of battleship which kills an enemy stack.. but what if 5 battleships are in there?

I don’t think that was ever an option. You will only see those names if it dies I think.

I think this used to be a feature, but the devs removed it because too many people were naming their ships inappropriately, and they could just be seen sailing along with those names.

I think just having it in the newspaper led to a dramatic decrease in inappropriate naming.

We already have leaders with garbage name and Nazi flags. How is this any different?

I'm not saying I agree with it, just saying that's the reason why it was removed.

I'd love to see ship names implemented too.

They could just give a list of ships of the country you are playing and let you select from them (only in historic)

Maybe like the ship names from your doctrine or something? Idk I’d prefer hard to see free names than east to see repetitive ones..


CarKing the 6th of the Abrahamic Caliphate

yeah i mean the following could be a scrap list:

Allied doctrine:

HMS Hood

HMS Prince of Wales

HMS Repulse

HMS Malaya

HMS Malaya

USS Colorado

USS Tennessee

USS Arizona

USS Texas

etc etc

Axis:

SMS Bayern

SMS Rheinland

SMS Westfalen

SMS Bismarck

SMS Ostfriesland

SMS Nassau

SMS Gneisau

SMS Scharnhorst

etc etc

Comintern:

Parizhskaya kommuna

Navarin

Imperatritsa Mariya

Sissoi Veliky

Peresvet

etc etc

Pan-Asian:

IJN Kongo

IJN Fuji

IJN Yashima

IJN Kirishima

IJN Yamato

IJN Tango

IJN Mikasa

IJN Asahi

IJN Sagami

IJN Suwo

IJN Hizen

IJN Satsuma

IJN Aki

P.S. I havent checked google for all this mess

There’s too few. The different countries would have the same ship names. I don’t think it’s worth it..


CarKing the 6th of the Abrahamic Caliphate

lets leave it to the public. in the newspaper it clearly says that Eg siberia ship "Sissoi Veliky" destroyed ____. it should be easy to find atleast 40-50 ships from each doctrine

What’s the point of naming ships then? Or named units in general? I don’t think it’s worth it.


CarKing the 6th of the Abrahamic Caliphate

it depends on the view of the person i guess anyway

just like people have mixed opinions sbout their Prime minister same thing goes for this

Politicians and game features are not the same…
